The lab studies lifeline earthquake and tsunami engineering.
AboutAbout the lab
Earthquakes, tsunamis, and lifeline engineering.
The Infrastructure Information Lab studies disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, as well as the engineering of lifelines.
The lab's research page explains that efforts to analyze and evaluate disasters using the approach of risk science are expanding.
Among risk events, the one drawing particular attention is catastrophe risk: events that occur rarely but cause enormous losses when they do.
Key terms
- Risk science
- A field that describes diverse problems through the common concept of risk and aims at quantitative prediction
- Catastrophe risk
- Risk that is low in frequency but causes enormous losses once it occurs, such as major earthquakes and severe infectious diseases
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies lifeline earthquake and tsunami engineering. Its research page explains that examining how the impact of risk events spreads through social and economic activity has become an important issue.
